Measuring Tip
One large egg white weighs approximately 30g and one large egg yolk weighs approximately 17g. Weighing separated eggs is more reliable than counting, since individual eggs vary in size.
Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
What is a Teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
Frequently Asked Questions
1 gram of egg yolks is 0.19 tsp. This conversion uses the ingredient's density and scales proportionally - pick an amount or try the calculator.
If you have a kitchen scale, weighing egg yolks gives you an exact starting point for this conversion. If you need to measure by volume instead, pour into the measuring spoon on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Egg sizes vary naturally, so the grams to teaspoons result can differ by 5-10% between individual eggs. This conversion uses large eggs as the standard. For carton egg yolks, the density is very consistent.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A gram of egg yolks fills a different number of teaspoons than a gram of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
